🌨️ Serene Seasons Better Winter

Bring your winter landscapes to life with cleaner tree silhouettes and a stronger seasonal atmosphere.

Serene Seasons Better Winter is a Forge 1.20.1 addon that makes deciduous tree leaves visually disappear during late autumn and winter, creating a natural dormant-season look — while keeping conifers and jungle foliage intact.
